Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1186996A1] A method of programming for providing polymorphism in any programming language, where a method over-write determination procedure is associated with any method that is to be enabled to be over-written in classes derived from the class in which said method is defined. Preferably, in order to over-write a method in a derived class, a method over-write identifier is associated with a class in which a method of a superior class is being over-written, where the over-write identifier identifies the over-written superior class method. Preferably said method over-write determination procedure either executes the method defined in the same class or an over-write method in a derived class, depending on the presence or absence of an over-write identifier in said derived class. <IMAGE>
